Making Christmas Special

Recommended Posts

Its my girls first Christmas this year, and we have been discussing what we should give them for Christmas Dinner!!!!

- might make them some nice corn muffins (since they LOVEEEEEEEEEEE corn)

 

Does anyone else do anthing special for their girls ?

or am I the only one mad enough to think of this ?? (DON'T answer that)

 

I would put tinsel on their eglu but they'd eat it !!

I'm planning on a mini feast for my girls with a little of everything they love beautifully presented on a huge plate :roll: and yes I am decorating the run with solar fairy lights and they will probably have a christmas tree on top of the eglu (the eglu is on a table so they wont be able to eat the tree) :lol:

 

 

so lets all be mad together :lol::lol:

Shall we run a competition, see who has the most festive Eglu or chicken run? I might make ours a little Christmas cake without the icing, and I expect they'll get all the veggies and stuff taken down by a load of excited children! Wonder if the eggs will come out festive?! :wink:

What an egg-cellent idea.

Could we have a temporary sticky please "Christmas 2007" where we ONLY post competition entries.

 

What categories shall we have (not too many)

 

1. Best decorated house and/or run

2. Best Christmas Dinner

3. Best (festively) dressed Chicken ????

4. First egg laid on Chrismas day

I dont think the chooks will hear (unless they have stolen the laptop and they are all reading the forum in the nesting box.)

 

I dont have a specific idea, maybe another dustbath for them, because the other one is too small for 8 chickens! Or we where thinking of putting a log pile in the run, then on Christmas morning moving the logs to see whats underneith (if there isnt anything there we will just put some meal worms down.) Or some bags of mixed salad, wrapped up in nice paper (am I taking it too far now?) Or we could grow a trough of cress for them.

 

On Christmas eve we will clean the cube out (so its nice and clean for Father Chookmas.) And we will put a little tree out side the run for them. I will add more ideas if I think of any.

We were thinking about letting our cockeral come in and watch T.V. He used to sit on our shoulders and watch when he was smaller and he's always trying to sneak back in.

I really like the idea of a festive eglu competition but in could get out of control - when you think what some peoples houses end up looking like at this time of year! :D

Hi Snowy

 

Could we extend the comp. deadline please - say till end Dec.

Then have poll for winners 1-7 Jan.

 

Christmas day seems a bit short as Christmas dinner pics can't be taken until then - not much time to upload to PC, then to site etc. (Also, may have beverage or 2 and so may not be capable of techic stuff on Christmas day itself)

Sadly my girls will be alone on Christmas day as we are going to family :( However, I plan to celebrate with them a couple of days before (they don't have calendars) - mine will be sending Omlet christmas cards (of course), enjoying raisin treats and having their photos taken wearing little wooly bobble hats ('Innocent' smoothie drinks have had a help the aged campaign the last couple of years, and they put little hand knitted hats on each bottle, has anyone else seen them?? Well, they are just the right size for a chicken willing enough to wear it for a second or two :lol: )
